Hi Mateusz,

Strictly speaking, this shouldn't have the colon on the end
of it, but that seems to make no difference...

Something to do with that start address, I'm guessing. When
I try to duplicate your experiment, I get the same results,
but with a start address of 08048080, which is the
"expected" thing, I think(?). I'm inclined to suspect a
problem with ld, not with Nasm (...but I always think that).
You might try "global _start" without the colon, and maybe
specify "section .text", just to see if it makes any
difference - maybe try specifying "--entry _start" to ld...
That start address is the only thing that looks "funny" to
me...

Best,
Frank
